An isotope emits an electron and an anti-neutrino during radioactive decay. The 11. electron moves east...
The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of archeological artifacts. 14C ( mass 2.34×10−26kg) decays by the process known as beta decay in which the nucleus emits an electron (the beta particle) and a subatomic particle called a neutrino. In one such decay, the electron and the neutrino are emitted at right angles to each other. The electron ( mass 9.11×10−31kg ) has a speed of 5.7×107 m/s and the neutrino has a momentum of 6.9×10−24 kg⋅m/s ....
9. The existence of the neutrino was postulated to account for which basic conservation laws during the beta decay process? a. conservation of energy b. conservation of momentum c. Both choices a and b are valid. d. None of the above choices are valid. 10. A radioactive isotope that emits a gamma quantum will change in what respect? a. Atomic number increases by one. b. Atomic number decreases by one. c. Atomic mass number decreases by one. d. None of...
Problem 7.45 13 of 15 Constants A radioactive nucleus at rest decays into a second nucleus, an electron, and a neutrino. The electron and neutrino are emitted at right angles and have momenta of Pe = 9.43x10-23 kg.m/s and p = 8.47x10-23 kg-m/s, respectively. (Figure 1) Part A Determine the magnitude of the momentum of the second (recoling) nucleus. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
